I was inspired to make Someday after seeing how all the "features" of modern day planners meant spending more time planning than doing. TWO SIMPLE VIEWS Someday is your drop-all list for everything that doesn’t need a deadline. Capture ideas, tasks, or notes freely.
Soon is your weekly view where you can plan what matters for the days ahead. Move items between the two with a simple flow to stay focused. CALENDAR INTEGRATION Pull in your calendar events alongside your todos for weekly planning SUBTASKS Rollup smaller tasks into a larger highlight via subtasks PAPER-LIKE FEEL Soft textures, gentle animations, and natural motion make using Someday feel like turning pages in a real planner. It’s quiet, intentional, and satisfying. OFFLINE & PRIVATE Your plans stay yours. Someday stores all your data locally on your device.

PREMIUM — PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Close your week on purpose. WeeklyRetro turns the end-of-week review into a five-minute ritual: look back at the past seven days, decide what to keep, what to stop and what to start, rate the week, and write one honest line before the next one begins. It borrows the retrospective format great engineering teams run every sprint — and points it at your own life. No blank page, no "dear diary": three sharp questions and a scoreboard that shows whether your weeks are actually getting better. WHAT YOU GET • Three lanes, three questions: what worked and should continue, what drained the week, what you'll try next — answered in minutes, not hours • Unfinished "Start" commitments follow you into the new week with one tap, so last week's promise doesn't die in the archive • A Momentum chart built only from ratings you actually gave: your trend, average, best week, and how the latest week compares • A follow-through score — how many of the things you said you'd start you actually ticked off • One weekly reminder on the day and hour you choose, matched to your calendar: weeks start on Sunday or Monday, whichever your device uses • A growing archive of closed weeks — every rating, summary and Keep/Stop/Start count, one scroll away PERFECT FOR • People who have started (and abandoned) five daily journals — one short session a week is a bar you can actually clear • Engineers, designers and PMs who already run sprint retros and want the same clarity for their own week • Anyone doing a GTD-style weekly review who wants the reflection half, not just the task triage • Self-improvement without the woo: real entries, real ratings, a real trend line WHY NOT JUST A NOTES APP? A blank note asks nothing, so most weeks it gets nothing. A retro asks three specific questions, makes you rate the week, and puts the answer next to last week's. A diary records how the week felt; a retrospective decides what next week will be different. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything lives on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no ads — the app contains no networking code at all. Your reflections are yours. PREMIUM (PURCHASE REQUIRED) WeeklyRetro Pro unlocks the whole app — unlimited weekly retros, the full archive, the Momentum trend and follow-through stats, carry-over, and the weekly reminder. Choose a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Start this Sunday: download WeeklyRetro and close the week instead of just ending it.
